Ablaye Cissoko and Cyrille Brotto concert in Figeac

Between Ablaye Cissoko – already 13 albums on the clock and international tours almost every year for 15 years – and Cyrille Brotto – a well-known figure in traditional music in France, it's much more than music: it's a story of friendship and deep respect for each other, the unprecedented encounter between two instruments and between two unique artists with constantly renewed universes!

The great master of the kora Ablaye Cissoko, a Senegalese griot, dialogues with the diatonic accordionist of Figeacois multi-instrumentalist, Cyrille Brotto. This human and musical friendship transcends borders and musical genres, for a journey halfway between traditions and contemporary creations. Open to the vibrations of the world, the concert with its velvety voice and refined harmonies explores the spleen of the uprooted.

Poetic and spiritual music, the kind that soothes the mind and inspires the senses.

Concert by Ablaye Cissoko and Cyrille Brotto, Friday November 8, 2024 at 8:30 p.m. at L’Astrolabe in Figeac. Prices: full €20, reduced from €14, information and reservations 05 65 34 24 78 and on the website www.astrolabe-grand-figeac.fr

Theater with “ROBIN” in Saint-Céré

Maïa Sandoz and Paul Moulin offer the opportunity to discover, for young and old, a poetic fable inspired by Robin Hood to laugh and think together about the world of tomorrow.

In a small town, not so long ago, in a happy but modest home, a little boy named Robin and a little girl named Christabelle were born. Soon struck by poverty and misery, reduced to stealing to feed themselves; the Desbois and their companions are arrested in the forest to be judged.

A terrible trial then begins: criminal conspiracy, forgery and use of forgery, outrages, vagrancy… Among the accused, one person is missing, however. Where is Robin hiding? Does it really exist…? Justice must be served…

Loosely inspired by Robin Hood, ROBIN is an offbeat, funny and incisive fable transposed to our times.

Friday November 8 in Saint-Céré at 8:30 p.m. at the Théâtre de l'Usine, duration 1 hour, entry from €8, prices. and reservations www.theatredelusine-saintcere.com.
